BAPTISMAll first-time parents are required to participate in a one-session program to prepare them to celebrate the baptism of their child. We strongly encourage parents who have over a three year interval between baptisms to participate. Baptismal Preparation Sessions are scheduled through the parish office. Parents must be registered parishioners and both are expected to attend the preparation session.
To register, or for more information, please contact Mindy Lehman. FIRST RECONCILIATION and FIRST EUCHARISTParent (s) provide a copy of their child’s baptism certificate, attend parent information meetings and scheduled preparation sessions, including family retreat day, with their child. Preparation begins in September of each year. First Reconciliation followed by First Eucharist. Upon completion of their child’s preparation (First Reconciliation and/or First Eucharist) parent (s) and the Director of Faith Formation will determine the child’s readiness to celebrate a sacrament.
Preparation Age: Child must be in the second grade level of school, however, older children who have not prepared for or celebrated their First Reconciliation or First Eucharist may do so at the request of their parent (s) or adult guardian. Please contact the Parish Office or the Director of Children’s Faith Formation, Mindy Lehman.
